Friday forecast, here on a Tuesday

Surely to hell, Aaro's got to pick up this gauntlet. Matthew Parris, in the Times. Not possible to ignore it (because it's in his own paper) and not possible to dismiss Parris as a fellow-traveller of the SWP. I suspect that Aaro will simply grasp the nettle, with a dark horse outside bet that he claims that the Iraqis are ready to look after themselves with their new Constitutiondraft Constitution negotiations about a Constitution.

Update: congratulations to commenter "Sonic" who took the Friday forecast prize for Cohen's column with:

It's down with multi-culturalism and can't we all unite under good decent (white) British values. Oh and anyone who talks about anti-racism is just in it for the money (unlike Nick who writes as a community service)

I don't say Dave is writing under orders, but it is surely inconcievable that Parris'piece can have been published without very high level prior agreement, I assume with Dave in on it.He would therefore be part of a plan.If they haven't told Dave that this was going to be published, then he's been stitched up.
